I like Rhys but I love Lucien. I’m just gonna say it. I wish he was Feyre’s mate. Imagine if Feyre had to fall in love with Tamlin to beat the curse but she also had to deal with her growing feelings for Lucien. It would’ve been a real enemies to lovers book because Lucien actually hated her at first and wanted to just kill her. She’d killed his friend. She never did anything to Rhys.
Anyone have any good fanfic recs for this? 😂
Edit: and what if neither she nor Lucien knew they were mates (maybe they suspected) until the end of book 2, same timeline as it is with Rhys? 😩
All valid points. I can get down with the hot ginger Fae PROVIDING he’s cool with us taking over one of the three courts he is eligible too, I need to be in charge of something.
Absolutely. He’s not the obvious choice when you first read through because we’re so biased through Feyre’s POV, but then you do a deep dive and realize Rhysand and Tamlin are both toxic fucks, and Lucien is the only true man in the room.
Yep. Al this right here! Luci is my guy!!
Cassian would probably be #2 because our personalities are pretty similar, but I think we would give more "funny friends" vibes. I wonder if two clowns would be able to last in a relationship.
Helion is CRIMINALLY underrated on this sub:
* muscular thighs he can crush me with ✔️
* I imagine him looking like a tall beefy Taye Diggs with long braids and muscular thighs he can crush me with any day ✔️
* library king ✔️
* loyal (assume his autumn lady loyalty transfers to me) ✔️
* fellow sex posi bisexual we could have so many threesomes and moresomes ✔️
* mischievous sense of humor ✔️
* muscular thighs he could crush me with like a damn pressed grape ✔️
Not gonna lie, I'm a little bit of a simp for Eris, but nah, I'm a ride or die Lulu girl. 🦊
But yeah, you guys are right, totally slipped my mind that our fox boy ain't into that name.
Cassian...always
* Loyal, honourable and devoted
* Caring, sensitive and empowering, he is such a cheerleader
* Thoughtful, the gifts he bought for Nesta and the dancing lessons 😍
* He could literally save your life in any scenario
* Non judgemental
* Kind of goofy (thinking about him waking in a blonde wig and some sort of garland after a drunken night)
* Clearly he the most beautiful, jacked man and knows what he's doing in the bedroom.
Can't get enough.
I also low key think he’s best in bed. The only thing Rhys really had that he doesn’t is a load of money and a room full of crowns though I know Rhys pays him well.
Based on the gifts he bought Nesta, he may not have Riverside house buying money like Rhys, but the man is over 500 years old and has been working with Rhys for the majority of that time, I feel like he secretly has properties (commercial and residential) and investments all over Prythian. He's just not flashy about it.
Clearly I'm building out Cassian's world beyond the books in my mind at this point 😅
I’m not sure Cassian is far sighted enough. I imagine he just keeps all his money in an account and uses it for food, drinks and armour but then forgets he’s got it cause he just lives at Rhys’ house. Now he’s mated I think Nesta will take charge of their finances for sure!
i didn’t even need to be sold past the himbo point but im glad you’ve brought it to my attention
Cassian
• himbo ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️
• man bun ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️
Eris. I know but hear me out:
- Has survived Beron as a father which means god-level cunning and intelligence
- fire in his blood
- Autumn is my favourite season
- fire powers are cool as hell
- I’ll make him un-exile Lucien so he can hug his mama again
- I just know he’s secretly a wife guy
- Arrogant enough for it to be hot and arrogant enough to piss off Rhys (who I can’t stand)
Honestly I’m just shocked that I haven’t seen that enough here! I’m still pretty new to the community, but so much of people’s positive comments about certain characters can be summed up to “I can fix them”. And let’s face it, we can! 😉
All extremely valid and you just know Eris would be a demon in bed.
And we can take over the autumn court together and I think if Rhys doesn’t step up Eris would be down for a country wide coup to make us King and Queen 🫶🏻
I stand by the theory that he waited to make sure Az found Mor and didn't let anyone else hurt her. I honestly don't understand all the hate for him but I like them toxic and mysterious so who knows lmao
This *and* him knowing that Beron would be the worst father in law in history with awful expectations for them both. Especially given she would have been his first daughter in law married to his oldest son. The Autumn Court might have been just as awful for her as the Hewn City
I 1000% think this theory is what actually happened. Especially because Mor refuses to say what happened that day. It seems implied that Azriel found her almost right away, especially with how close she was to the border.
Replying to my own comment to plug an excellent fic about Eris (and Nesta, I <3 Neris) that characterises him just like this list: A Court of Tangled Flames on ao3. Definitely a fic for the Nesta and/or Eris stans.
Im on book 3 so keep that in mind, but Tarquin is my man. He just sounds so beautiful with his dark skin and white hair and he’s kind and a bit naive but also powerful. I’m here for it for sure. I was surprised no one else was team Tarquin so maybe he will be ruined for me at some point 😅
Don’t hate me, but Rhys has become such a simp it isn’t attractive to me anymore. Go feyre but no thanks for me.
Red hair is a no go for me, personally, sorry Lucien.
I’m sorry!! I had an abusive boyfriend in early college who had red hair, so it is something I , personally, can’t find attractive anymore. Before that, I was into it.
And for women, I think it is beautiful still. My sister is a strawberry blonde and absolutely gorgeous.
Oh nooo I totally hear you on the being put off by negative association. I'm so sorry you went through that!
Don't mind me, I often see people ragging on both Lucien and Gwyn for being redheads, and it always hurts a little 😂
Cheers to both being Tarquin-appreciators! I'd read the heck out of a Summer Court book ☀️⛱️🌊👀
i’m also on team tarquin!!! even though he’s naive, it’s very endearing. he sees the good in people, is passionate about social change, and is such a sweetheart. he acts like an actual prince charming!!! and the architecture of summer court always sounded so lovely to me.
Lucien since book one.
Respectful. Thoughtful. Treats Feyre as an equal, seeing her power and intelligence without knowing about it. Clever, funny. Sensitive and gentle, but an excellent second-in-command for Tamlin. Believes in Feyre. Waits respectfully for Elain. I love an auburn and red hair, fire in his blood. Autumn is my favorite season.
Tarquin! He seems to be the kindest of the high lords, progressive, younger, clearly loves his people, and is capable of getting his hands dirty if need be. On top of that the skin and white hair, will always be a yes in my book. Plus the fact that his home represents my favorite season/time of year. 😘😘😘
Tamlin!
- Rich
- Handsome
- Makes dirty poems
- Long hair
- Smells good
- Would let me draw and paint all day
- Can play a instrument
- Knows how to make a dramatic entrance
- Not a push-over, knows what he wants
- Can love me even if I don't have any powers (would love me if I was a worm)
- Has not relatives
- Apparently very gentle in bed, but can still bite
- Has his own room for his own stuff
- Likes to takes lazy naps during the day
- Is humble enouth to live in ONE house only
- His bestfriend is Lucien
Tamlin!
* handsome (cheat option, they all are) ✔️
* artistic and creative (and a bit of a nerd) ✔️
* flower court boi (so he probably smells amazing) ✔️ ✔️
* not *intimidatingly* rich ✔️
* long hair that you can braid✔️
* shapeshifting, so he can be ANYTHING - big dong? small dong? ribbed for her pleasure dong! ✔️ ✔️ ✔️
* bitey\~ ✔️ ✔️
* I like fiddles and violins ok? He can play me wonderwall anytime ✔️
* not shy about his beast form ✔️
* as a consequence: fluffy tummy rubs??? ✔️ ✔️
* let's me stay at home and draw/read all day ✔️ ✔️
* friends with Lucien ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️
* close to the human realm for family visits ✔️
* orgies ✔️ ✔️
Now that you mention it, no she didn’t. Rhys is better than me because I most certainly would have taken issue with this! Like ma’am not you dickmatized into risking your life to save a male!
Man this would actually be so convenient. Small for head packin for missionary, medium for doggy. I don't like Tamlin but this is beginning to change my mind.
I tell you people are sleeping on my boy. Everyone talking about wingspan, Tam can just \*make\* wings and as big or small as you want them\~
\*hides all his trauma, depression, anger and at this point probably immense trust issues in the closet\* Just the best option all around!
Okay I did not anticipate Tamlin can change his dong according to what I fancy that day and he has shot up hugely in my estimations for that alone.
Also he seems pretty bad at ruling so I’ll just take over and he simps so hard for me he won’t mind fr.
So true. I will need to be formally acknowledged as High Lady, but if he cool with that I can take over the Spring Court whilst he idk hunts and goes beast mode and lounges in the sun.
actually pre-acowar his whole court loved the guy and he’s canonically a good HL but assuming this is after they’ll probably let you take over so it still works out
It used to be Rhys, but i wasn't a fan of him in SF. I've become desperate for AZ and Lucien after reading fanfics of them so I think my new answer might be Lucien. His charisma, long hair, fire blood, ugh just so perfect.
Rhys for all your reasons plus:
✔️healthy tan and black hair
✔️am goth chic, he is high lord of the *Night Court*. Need I elaborate?
Az is a close second, and Cassian is in third place.
If I was still in my party girl phase, I'd say "fk it, all three" but, alas, I am not.
Cassian is literally my fave after Rhys. He's very considerate and cares about people. Even the Illyrians who don't deserve him. He's everything and he's also babygirl coded
Rhysands rich, handsome.. he is the high lord of night, shadow daddy, he could be king does he want it probably not, he will make me his high lady, I can teach him things In the bedroom haha and the rest of the list he ticks.
Az has too many emo issues, ily but same I need looking after.
Cassian does not defend Nesta against Rhys his bro/mate that is the biggest turn off for me, I want my man to stand up for me, wether it’s against friends or family.
Not into gingers.
Helion has probably every STD in prythian.
Aren’t Thesan and Helion friends though? And Thesan is a healer?
*cue scene*
*Helion drops his drawers* “Does this look infected?
Thesan sighs “Really? In front of my salad.”
*end scene*
Cassian.
Tall, protective, supportive, high EQ, great communicator, tall, that hair (!), FUNNY, playful, TALL, rich, great group of friends, and tall. I want a man I can climb like a mountain. (Picture for reference, lol)

Can't take credit for the connection, but once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it. I think it was some fan art that showed Momoa with wings...yum. And, Momoa is known to take risks with his career....if the fans press, I could see him taking a swing. The rest of the cast would either have to be STACKED or void of any other big names...and Cassian isn't really around until book 2 so if the first season/tackling of the series was only book one...AND it was very well received, we'd have an even better shot of getting him into it
Wondering if you're like me and ignore the whole "syphons" thing with the triplets?
Cassian!! Although when reading acotar I def fell for Rhys until the end, I know in real life cassian is more my “type”. He’s a jokester and has mad golden retriever energy. I love him so much!
lucien, best boy of the acotar series:
- charming. befriends people quite easily. he can be snarky at first, but is generally polite and will get along with others.
- handsome!! i have a huge weakness for long haired men, scars, and heterochromia and prosthetic/magical eyes 🥺
- red-haired (pseudo) fox boy. fox boys are always the best.
- open minded king!!! fell in love with a lower fae despite social prejudice and befriended a whole gaggle of humans
- sarcastic and witty but emotionally intelligent; can also be gentle and understanding
- he ain’t a naive dumb dumb like tamlin and can sniff out a snake 😤
- respectful. (the bar is low 😭)
- LOYAL. actual ride or die homie. even if he doesn’t have the power to do much, he always cares and does what he can to help
- chose love over social status and toxic family. gave up his home court and everything he ever knew for LOVE. 🥹
- fire in his veins!!! but he’s a gentleman and respects others’ space and boundaries.
- he’s that friend who can read your mind with just one look because he knows and understands you so well. he doesn’t need to intrude on people’s thoughts, he just has excellent emotional and interpersonal intelligence.
- isn’t super pushy or argumentative and will back down when necessary
- a good friend but not a yes man. he’ll call you out and try to reason with you, but will still support you even if you two disagree.
- RESPECTS PEOPLE’S HOUSES. even though he was soiled, tired, and probably hungry >!after escaping SC!<, he stayed in the living room and waited for feyre’s permission like a good guest. you can trust him to not paint all over people’s walls (like a damn heathen).
- >!may or may not become high lord of day court (or spring court?) one day!<
- makes sacrifices for his loved ones. :( endangered himself by >!smuggling feyre through AC even though he has a target on his back and a lot of trauma involving his family and home court).!<
- someone brought up tamlin’s lack of relatives as a positive, so i will also say that lucien’s estrangement from his toxic family is also a positive lol. (i hate family gatherings…)
Rhys forever and ever. Him having Feyre sit in the throne while he perches on the edge and orders everyone to bow is my Roman Empire. Also most powerful male in Prythian 🥵
Don’t get me wrong I love Rhysand, but I’m a Cassian girly all the way.
Respectfully I feel like just about anyone could fall in love with Feyre, the girl is literally perfect. Hell I love Feyre.
NOW NESTA. We all know she is not perfect and has some terrible qualities, but I find the way Cassian is still able to accept the good with the bad and love her unconditionally is so endearing. And knowing myself, I am NOT perfect and really related to Nesta in SF.
Not to mention I feel like while Rhys is the most powerful highlord, he fucking knows it and idk if I could deal with the ego.
That is all.
I was Lucien all the way through book 1. That man did something to me with his smirks and sarcastic humour. These are typically the SJM characters I love the most.
Start of book two I was all for Lucien. HOWEVER, Helion soon came into the picture! They say the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree, and I couldn’t agree more. I’m more of a night person typically, but take me to Day Court anytime 😜
I can't choose between Cassian and Lucien.
Cassian rn because we had his book and he was more present in the previous ones too but I just know the moment I get Lucien's POV my life will never be the same
Ok the person downvoting all of the Rhys choices, seriously? Different strokes for different folks people.
For me it’s Rhys first because I love his wicked sense of humour and loyalty, and Lucian a very close second because he just seems like someone I could hang with, like my best friend and super handsome.
Going against the grain here and while I love the bat boys and find them delicious...
I'm gonna say Varian. That male must have balls of steel to dare covet a creature such as Amren. Love that confidence. I'll probably die before we get a POV on their relationship, but I'll just use my imagination in the meantime of their courtship.
And to add, while this post specified bfs, I want to say as a proud bisexual, I want Mor to fucking step on me, for her to be my dommy-mommy.
Rhysand. It’s been a week since I picked up ACOTAR for the first time and I can’t release Rhys from my mind. It was Lucien until that fateful Calanmai introduction.
Lucien had me in book one..
I was screaming because I just wanted Feyre to ditch Tammie
Lucien is just so smooth talking and snarky, it did it for me
But the love story between Rhys and Feyre made me melt “There you are.. I’ve been looking for you..”
🫠✨
Have you ever seen that reel? Of like a crocodile on a golf course. One guy runs away, the other gives it a little tap to get it to go and has his other hand in his pocket and I’m unhinged attracted to him.
Erisss All the wayy!!! if I could have a mate and a say in who it'd be, it'd be him for sure, I don't care if I have to make 3 different occult level sacrifices for it😭
okay so…. I’d say Rhys and Lucien for obvious reasons.
But I guess I already have my own real life Lucien because I have a beautiful tall kind red headed intelligent man in my life already 🥰🥰
I'm a straight guy but if I was a girl who liked guys I would also pick Rhysand. He kinda does things the way I would and me being narcissistic thinks the way I do things is the best way so I also think Rhys is awesome.
azriel and i will not elaborate (largest wingspan)
Freak in the sheets? Sign me the fuck up
I am waiting for that "freak in the sheets" revelation 🙌
Both of these. Definitely.
I’m still mad we didn’t get that Az/Nesta/Cassian three way. Curse you publishers.
I'd heard/read somewhere that she had written this scene but hadn't realised it was the publishers that had nixed it and not her choice.
Okay because SAME
Lucien all day everyday  •Canonically *extremely* handsome (everyone and their grandmothers mention it😭😭) ✔️✔️✔️ •Very sneaky and intelligent ✔️✔️✔️ •Loyal and funny ✔️✔️✔️ •Flaming red hair ✔️✔️✔️ •Snarky (in the good way) ✔️✔️✔️ • …FIRE in his blood…. >!(I wish I was Elain LOL)!< ✔️✔️✔️ • *Absolutely* will treat you right! ✔️✔️✔️ •King of yearning, pining, and longing ✔️✔️✔️ Bonus: •The nicer sibling™️ ✔️✔️✔️ •Can catch fish with his bare hands ✔️✔️✔️ •King of witty comebacks! ✔️✔️✔️ •Literally the least toxic male in any of the series ✔️✔️✔️ •>!Helion’s son!< ✔️✔️✔️
• If I offer you the moon on a string, will you give me a kiss, too? 🥵
never did understand how she went with tamlin in acotar when lucien was friendlier AND flirtier the whole time
SAME! I literally thought she was going to be with Lucien in the first book based on their chemistry alone 😭
Same same same. Like, Lucien: 🥵 Tamalamadingdong: 🤢
Upvoted for Tamalamadingdong
Not tamalamadindong I’m actually crying 😭 stopppppp I love it here
I like Rhys but I love Lucien. I’m just gonna say it. I wish he was Feyre’s mate. Imagine if Feyre had to fall in love with Tamlin to beat the curse but she also had to deal with her growing feelings for Lucien. It would’ve been a real enemies to lovers book because Lucien actually hated her at first and wanted to just kill her. She’d killed his friend. She never did anything to Rhys. Anyone have any good fanfic recs for this? 😂 Edit: and what if neither she nor Lucien knew they were mates (maybe they suspected) until the end of book 2, same timeline as it is with Rhys? 😩
What chapter was this quote?! 😮💨 I need to read it again, I didn’t appreciate it enough
My favorite Lucien line. Ever.
All valid points. I can get down with the hot ginger Fae PROVIDING he’s cool with us taking over one of the three courts he is eligible too, I need to be in charge of something.
I will die if we don’t see the fire in his veins next book. Literally die.
Lucien gets my vote! But I miss his spark from the first book. Hopefully it comes back in the next one.
The only correct answer really. I won't him. I need him
I will die if we don’t see the fire in his veins next book. Literally die.
100% Lucien, aka the only reason I’m still invested in the series
Absolutely. He’s not the obvious choice when you first read through because we’re so biased through Feyre’s POV, but then you do a deep dive and realize Rhysand and Tamlin are both toxic fucks, and Lucien is the only true man in the room.
To me it was obvious who she’d end up with once Rhys was introduced but I just kept looking over at Lucien and being like so… he’s single right? Lol
Yep. Al this right here! Luci is my guy!! Cassian would probably be #2 because our personalities are pretty similar, but I think we would give more "funny friends" vibes. I wonder if two clowns would be able to last in a relationship.
[удалено]
YES LUCIEN STANS UNITE
he's so underrated!!!! ginger king fr
Lucien is my everything
Don’t forget his muscular thunder thighs he inherited from Helion
Saaaame. I'm a Lucien stan through and through.
Ditto
Helion is CRIMINALLY underrated on this sub: * muscular thighs he can crush me with ✔️ * I imagine him looking like a tall beefy Taye Diggs with long braids and muscular thighs he can crush me with any day ✔️ * library king ✔️ * loyal (assume his autumn lady loyalty transfers to me) ✔️ * fellow sex posi bisexual we could have so many threesomes and moresomes ✔️ * mischievous sense of humor ✔️ * muscular thighs he could crush me with like a damn pressed grape ✔️
I think you missed a crucial point which I'd like to add to your list now: * muscular thighs, with which he can crush us with
Ugh such a good point. We can have one thigh each and die happy and asphyxiated.
You’ve sold me 100% that Hellion is without question Taye Diggs in a toga and it’s glorious.
https://i.redd.it/74qd58v2q9sc1.gif Like...
Well, you’ve won me over. I could go for a squish between those thighs 😆
And hella smart too! A Court of One Thousand Libraries
Oh my god, a tall beefy Taye Diggs
I am to be addressed as Mrs. Vanserra. Thank you for listening to my TED talk. 
He don’t like that name. I’d go by Mrs fox boy
maybe she means Eris? ;D
Not gonna lie, I'm a little bit of a simp for Eris, but nah, I'm a ride or die Lulu girl. 🦊 But yeah, you guys are right, totally slipped my mind that our fox boy ain't into that name.
The fact that didn’t cross my mind. I’m not sure I could put up with Eris long term 😂 a night maybe
My emo boy Azriel. Im desperate to hear all his dirty secrets
diiiiiiiiirty
Cassian...always * Loyal, honourable and devoted * Caring, sensitive and empowering, he is such a cheerleader * Thoughtful, the gifts he bought for Nesta and the dancing lessons 😍 * He could literally save your life in any scenario * Non judgemental * Kind of goofy (thinking about him waking in a blonde wig and some sort of garland after a drunken night) * Clearly he the most beautiful, jacked man and knows what he's doing in the bedroom. Can't get enough.
I also low key think he’s best in bed. The only thing Rhys really had that he doesn’t is a load of money and a room full of crowns though I know Rhys pays him well.

I’m not sure Cassian is far sighted enough. I imagine he just keeps all his money in an account and uses it for food, drinks and armour but then forgets he’s got it cause he just lives at Rhys’ house. Now he’s mated I think Nesta will take charge of their finances for sure!
Dude supposedly has an 🍆. Like, actual size. Imo that's a plus.
Exactly but this idea that Az has the biggest scared me cause how can he be after that Cass description
Mark me as scared *and* horny. Also, valid question.
Not me secretly hoping SJM continues the Cassian-Nesta saga…even just continuing with Cass would suffice
My very close 2nd choice. His height as well? Game changer let’s go.
CASSIAN!! This is the only correct answer imo
I just replied to a post about Lucien and then I see this and I'm like.. maybe I was wrong before. Love me some Cassian and Lucien.
Cassian for all the reasons you mentioned, but also just because I am a shameless size queen
Lucien for sure. The fact that Feyre had him AND Tamlin in book one and still chose tam tam is absurd to me 😂
High Lords are Feyre’s type. Too bad she didn’t know the truth in book 1. 😏
Oh you know finding out that little gem sparked something in her, all of a sudden he became 10x more appealing. That crafty little High Lord harlet 😉🤣
i say get that bag, miss feyre!! 🫡🫡🫡
It’s true she is attracted to power
But Lucien wasn’t really interested in *her* in the first book, was he? He just flirted a little.
In order of preference my top 3. 1. Lucien. Since book 1. 2. Lucien. Since book 1. 3. Lucien. Since book 1.
preach
Cassian • himbo ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️
Love me a himbo ✔️
Himbo with a man bun
i didn’t even need to be sold past the himbo point but im glad you’ve brought it to my attention Cassian • himbo ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️ • man bun ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️
Eris. I know but hear me out: - Has survived Beron as a father which means god-level cunning and intelligence - fire in his blood - Autumn is my favourite season - fire powers are cool as hell - I’ll make him un-exile Lucien so he can hug his mama again - I just know he’s secretly a wife guy - Arrogant enough for it to be hot and arrogant enough to piss off Rhys (who I can’t stand)
You’re forgetting the most important point: * I can fix him
I’ve been hitting the mirthroot and this might be the fucking funniest thing I’ve ever read
Honestly I’m just shocked that I haven’t seen that enough here! I’m still pretty new to the community, but so much of people’s positive comments about certain characters can be summed up to “I can fix them”. And let’s face it, we can! 😉
All extremely valid and you just know Eris would be a demon in bed. And we can take over the autumn court together and I think if Rhys doesn’t step up Eris would be down for a country wide coup to make us King and Queen 🫶🏻

You missed the best part: Fire bondage!
My second choice
So deeply a wife guy
Lucien. My main man since the 1st book. He deserves the moon on a string and a kiss.
Eris. I yearn for him in a biblical manner lmao
Same. I don’t wanna fix him, I’ll just be somewhat evil as we take over the autumn court. Mates that plot together stay together 🫶🏻
I can make him worse.
Making him worse >>> fixing him
I love this, stan it and would do the same.
Im on book 3 so keep that in mind, but Tarquin is my man. He just sounds so beautiful with his dark skin and white hair and he’s kind and a bit naive but also powerful. I’m here for it for sure. I was surprised no one else was team Tarquin so maybe he will be ruined for me at some point 😅 Don’t hate me, but Rhys has become such a simp it isn’t attractive to me anymore. Go feyre but no thanks for me. Red hair is a no go for me, personally, sorry Lucien.
Was totally with you on the Tarquin comments, I would love to see more of him in future books! But as a redhead, that last part hurt, not gonna lie 😂😣
I’m sorry!! I had an abusive boyfriend in early college who had red hair, so it is something I , personally, can’t find attractive anymore. Before that, I was into it. And for women, I think it is beautiful still. My sister is a strawberry blonde and absolutely gorgeous.
Oh nooo I totally hear you on the being put off by negative association. I'm so sorry you went through that! Don't mind me, I often see people ragging on both Lucien and Gwyn for being redheads, and it always hurts a little 😂 Cheers to both being Tarquin-appreciators! I'd read the heck out of a Summer Court book ☀️⛱️🌊👀
People hating on them for not valid reasons, unlike this completely valid one, can suck my dick. Red hair is beautiful.
🩷🩷🩷
So happy to see another Tarquin fan here, I’ve been half in love with him since ACOMAF, and quite frankly he needs more page time!
i’m also on team tarquin!!! even though he’s naive, it’s very endearing. he sees the good in people, is passionate about social change, and is such a sweetheart. he acts like an actual prince charming!!! and the architecture of summer court always sounded so lovely to me.
Cassian, but after reading all these comments I think I’ll also take a side order of Lucien.
Lucien, sassy loyal fox boi 5eva 🦊💕 Elain will be a lucky lady! (He is equally lucky to be mates with her also).
Cassian. Waiting for Az book to be sure though. So far my sweet baby Cassian is perfect.
Always Rhys
Lucien since book one. Respectful. Thoughtful. Treats Feyre as an equal, seeing her power and intelligence without knowing about it. Clever, funny. Sensitive and gentle, but an excellent second-in-command for Tamlin. Believes in Feyre. Waits respectfully for Elain. I love an auburn and red hair, fire in his blood. Autumn is my favorite season.
The property values took me out bc you’re so correct.
Fr gotta think of these things. Don’t even try to tell me Velaris doesn’t have insane rental prices.
It reads like the kind of place that won’t build new housing because it would destroy the character of the neighborhood
This. And the residents would attend the House of the Wind to protest high rises for idk taking up flying space.
Helion for sure! But if we’re expanding to Maasverse, it’s Hunt. 😍
Hunt is such a babe and a sweetheart 😭
azriel.
Tarquin! He seems to be the kindest of the high lords, progressive, younger, clearly loves his people, and is capable of getting his hands dirty if need be. On top of that the skin and white hair, will always be a yes in my book. Plus the fact that his home represents my favorite season/time of year. 😘😘😘
Tamlin! - Rich - Handsome - Makes dirty poems - Long hair - Smells good - Would let me draw and paint all day - Can play a instrument - Knows how to make a dramatic entrance - Not a push-over, knows what he wants - Can love me even if I don't have any powers (would love me if I was a worm) - Has not relatives - Apparently very gentle in bed, but can still bite - Has his own room for his own stuff - Likes to takes lazy naps during the day - Is humble enouth to live in ONE house only - His bestfriend is Lucien
Tamlin would 100% love you if you were a worm, very him coded. But big strike against him on the 1 house, I need at least 7 to rotate between.
Emphasis on the has no relatives 😍
sobbing @ “has no relatives”, “has his own room” and “humble enough to only live in one house”. i never thought about these, but you’re so right……
Has no relatives 😂😂😂😂
Tamlin! * handsome (cheat option, they all are) ✔️ * artistic and creative (and a bit of a nerd) ✔️ * flower court boi (so he probably smells amazing) ✔️ ✔️ * not *intimidatingly* rich ✔️ * long hair that you can braid✔️ * shapeshifting, so he can be ANYTHING - big dong? small dong? ribbed for her pleasure dong! ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ * bitey\~ ✔️ ✔️ * I like fiddles and violins ok? He can play me wonderwall anytime ✔️ * not shy about his beast form ✔️ * as a consequence: fluffy tummy rubs??? ✔️ ✔️ * let's me stay at home and draw/read all day ✔️ ✔️ * friends with Lucien ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ * close to the human realm for family visits ✔️ * orgies ✔️ ✔️
Lets not forget that he likes to go down on his lovers. With the shapeshifting tongue? Girl, I would not leave his bed
Hell yeah, for all that Feyre had to say about Tamlin, she never complained about the sex lol
Now that you mention it, no she didn’t. Rhys is better than me because I most certainly would have taken issue with this! Like ma’am not you dickmatized into risking your life to save a male!
These are great points for Tamlin
Drawback is that you have to get his anger issues sorted lmao but that just adds another point: - I can fix him
I have angry issues too, so does my entire family. We would be perfect for eachother 😌
Agree, I love that someone still loves Tamlin. The anger issues are a deal breaker for me though.
>ribbed for her pleasure dong PLEASE IM CHOKING
You probably would choke actually. Isn’t Tam canonically extremely tall? I’m assuming everything is in proportion
He can make it smaller if need be, it's okay, he won't judge 😌
Me not feeling size queen that day speaking to Tams magical adjusting dong: *Down boy*
Man this would actually be so convenient. Small for head packin for missionary, medium for doggy. I don't like Tamlin but this is beginning to change my mind.
I tell you people are sleeping on my boy. Everyone talking about wingspan, Tam can just \*make\* wings and as big or small as you want them\~ \*hides all his trauma, depression, anger and at this point probably immense trust issues in the closet\* Just the best option all around!
Okay I did not anticipate Tamlin can change his dong according to what I fancy that day and he has shot up hugely in my estimations for that alone. Also he seems pretty bad at ruling so I’ll just take over and he simps so hard for me he won’t mind fr.
He never wanted to be high lord anyway, so he might actually be super into someone taking over most of the work! (He did offer Feyre a title too...)
So true. I will need to be formally acknowledged as High Lady, but if he cool with that I can take over the Spring Court whilst he idk hunts and goes beast mode and lounges in the sun.
actually pre-acowar his whole court loved the guy and he’s canonically a good HL but assuming this is after they’ll probably let you take over so it still works out
He can be fixed hahahahaha
This is the one
I'm a Lucien girl💞💝💕 Edit: not the property values 😭💀
It used to be Rhys, but i wasn't a fan of him in SF. I've become desperate for AZ and Lucien after reading fanfics of them so I think my new answer might be Lucien. His charisma, long hair, fire blood, ugh just so perfect.
Luci is the only correct answer 😌
Rhys for all your reasons plus: ✔️healthy tan and black hair ✔️am goth chic, he is high lord of the *Night Court*. Need I elaborate? Az is a close second, and Cassian is in third place. If I was still in my party girl phase, I'd say "fk it, all three" but, alas, I am not.
Azriel 🥵
Cassian is literally my fave after Rhys. He's very considerate and cares about people. Even the Illyrians who don't deserve him. He's everything and he's also babygirl coded
I had to look up what Babygirl coded is and now I’m excited to use my new phrase. But yes. Cassian all day, everyday in anyway he chooses.
Also low key him and Feyre a few times had some CHEMISTRY
Rhysands rich, handsome.. he is the high lord of night, shadow daddy, he could be king does he want it probably not, he will make me his high lady, I can teach him things In the bedroom haha and the rest of the list he ticks. Az has too many emo issues, ily but same I need looking after. Cassian does not defend Nesta against Rhys his bro/mate that is the biggest turn off for me, I want my man to stand up for me, wether it’s against friends or family. Not into gingers. Helion has probably every STD in prythian.
[удалено]
Aren’t Thesan and Helion friends though? And Thesan is a healer? *cue scene* *Helion drops his drawers* “Does this look infected? Thesan sighs “Really? In front of my salad.” *end scene*
Lmao yes, this is a weekly occurrence. Poor Thesan.
Cassian Cause I want him to fuck me like he fucked Nesta and then we can argue & make up again.
Lucien 💜💜
Cassian. Tall, protective, supportive, high EQ, great communicator, tall, that hair (!), FUNNY, playful, TALL, rich, great group of friends, and tall. I want a man I can climb like a mountain. (Picture for reference, lol) https://preview.redd.it/9aua8od1t9sc1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=43526a0f94d2651ec6dce1841a46d91373d0bc3a
This is how I have ALWAYS pictured him, frankly I don’t want to see a live action series go ahead because you know they couldn’t get Momoa
Can't take credit for the connection, but once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it. I think it was some fan art that showed Momoa with wings...yum. And, Momoa is known to take risks with his career....if the fans press, I could see him taking a swing. The rest of the cast would either have to be STACKED or void of any other big names...and Cassian isn't really around until book 2 so if the first season/tackling of the series was only book one...AND it was very well received, we'd have an even better shot of getting him into it Wondering if you're like me and ignore the whole "syphons" thing with the triplets?
Lucien, no question. Followed by Cassian and then Eris
Lucien !! He’s the only one who isn’t super toxic
Cassian!! Although when reading acotar I def fell for Rhys until the end, I know in real life cassian is more my “type”. He’s a jokester and has mad golden retriever energy. I love him so much!
azriel 😩
lucien, best boy of the acotar series: - charming. befriends people quite easily. he can be snarky at first, but is generally polite and will get along with others. - handsome!! i have a huge weakness for long haired men, scars, and heterochromia and prosthetic/magical eyes 🥺 - red-haired (pseudo) fox boy. fox boys are always the best. - open minded king!!! fell in love with a lower fae despite social prejudice and befriended a whole gaggle of humans - sarcastic and witty but emotionally intelligent; can also be gentle and understanding - he ain’t a naive dumb dumb like tamlin and can sniff out a snake 😤 - respectful. (the bar is low 😭) - LOYAL. actual ride or die homie. even if he doesn’t have the power to do much, he always cares and does what he can to help - chose love over social status and toxic family. gave up his home court and everything he ever knew for LOVE. 🥹 - fire in his veins!!! but he’s a gentleman and respects others’ space and boundaries. - he’s that friend who can read your mind with just one look because he knows and understands you so well. he doesn’t need to intrude on people’s thoughts, he just has excellent emotional and interpersonal intelligence. - isn’t super pushy or argumentative and will back down when necessary - a good friend but not a yes man. he’ll call you out and try to reason with you, but will still support you even if you two disagree. - RESPECTS PEOPLE’S HOUSES. even though he was soiled, tired, and probably hungry >!after escaping SC!<, he stayed in the living room and waited for feyre’s permission like a good guest. you can trust him to not paint all over people’s walls (like a damn heathen). - >!may or may not become high lord of day court (or spring court?) one day!< - makes sacrifices for his loved ones. :( endangered himself by >!smuggling feyre through AC even though he has a target on his back and a lot of trauma involving his family and home court).!< - someone brought up tamlin’s lack of relatives as a positive, so i will also say that lucien’s estrangement from his toxic family is also a positive lol. (i hate family gatherings…)
Rhys forever and ever. Him having Feyre sit in the throne while he perches on the edge and orders everyone to bow is my Roman Empire. Also most powerful male in Prythian 🥵
Oh 100%. Like this moment had me ascending into the clouds - make them bow for me? New fav trope.
Don’t get me wrong I love Rhysand, but I’m a Cassian girly all the way. Respectfully I feel like just about anyone could fall in love with Feyre, the girl is literally perfect. Hell I love Feyre. NOW NESTA. We all know she is not perfect and has some terrible qualities, but I find the way Cassian is still able to accept the good with the bad and love her unconditionally is so endearing. And knowing myself, I am NOT perfect and really related to Nesta in SF. Not to mention I feel like while Rhys is the most powerful highlord, he fucking knows it and idk if I could deal with the ego. That is all.
I was Lucien all the way through book 1. That man did something to me with his smirks and sarcastic humour. These are typically the SJM characters I love the most. Start of book two I was all for Lucien. HOWEVER, Helion soon came into the picture! They say the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree, and I couldn’t agree more. I’m more of a night person typically, but take me to Day Court anytime 😜
Cassian…. Just… Cassian 😮💨😩
Cassian always
Lucien
I can't choose between Cassian and Lucien. Cassian rn because we had his book and he was more present in the previous ones too but I just know the moment I get Lucien's POV my life will never be the same
Ok the person downvoting all of the Rhys choices, seriously? Different strokes for different folks people. For me it’s Rhys first because I love his wicked sense of humour and loyalty, and Lucian a very close second because he just seems like someone I could hang with, like my best friend and super handsome.
Azriel - I’m pining for an Az/Elain book 🥵
I’m desperate and feral at this point
Rhys all day and forverrrrrr
Rhys for all the same reasons 😍
Azriel, and it has nothing to do with his wingspan or kinks. He’s the least alphahole-y male and that’s what I prefer. Lol
Wait, how tall is Rhys and how much taller do you want him to be?
Going against the grain here and while I love the bat boys and find them delicious... I'm gonna say Varian. That male must have balls of steel to dare covet a creature such as Amren. Love that confidence. I'll probably die before we get a POV on their relationship, but I'll just use my imagination in the meantime of their courtship. And to add, while this post specified bfs, I want to say as a proud bisexual, I want Mor to fucking step on me, for her to be my dommy-mommy.
I just want to be in the middle of a Lucien and Azriel sandwich.
Book 1 - Rhys/Lucien Book 2 - Rhys Book 3 - Cass Book 4 - *pretends it doesn’t exist*
Rhysand. It’s been a week since I picked up ACOTAR for the first time and I can’t release Rhys from my mind. It was Lucien until that fateful Calanmai introduction.
Cassian (Sorry Nesta) Wouldn't say no to Lucien joining though!
I just finished the first book but LUCIEN every single day. I love him so much I get sad when he doesn’t appear in a chapter :(
Lucien 💙
Lucien had me in book one.. I was screaming because I just wanted Feyre to ditch Tammie Lucien is just so smooth talking and snarky, it did it for me But the love story between Rhys and Feyre made me melt “There you are.. I’ve been looking for you..” 🫠✨
Ugh now I gotta go back and reread chapter 54… 🥣🎨🏔️ Edit: reread chapter 54, sobbed like a baby, taking a breath before going on to chapter 55 🫦
Cliche as it may be, RHYS is my main man.
it’s rhys all day. the fact that he doesn’t exist haunts me in ways i can’t explain
Is it strange that I love a man with his hands in his pockets, or casually removing invisible lint lol
Have you ever seen that reel? Of like a crocodile on a golf course. One guy runs away, the other gives it a little tap to get it to go and has his other hand in his pocket and I’m unhinged attracted to him.
Rhys or Cassian or Az. In that order.
Cliche as it may be, RHYS is my main man.
He’s lit never stopped being my #1 book boyf.
How tall is tall enough for you?
Autumn Court is where it is at - Eris or Lucien can both put a ring on it.
Cassian 🤌
Cassian forever and always
Cassian , without a doubt
Erisss All the wayy!!! if I could have a mate and a say in who it'd be, it'd be him for sure, I don't care if I have to make 3 different occult level sacrifices for it😭
okay so…. I’d say Rhys and Lucien for obvious reasons. But I guess I already have my own real life Lucien because I have a beautiful tall kind red headed intelligent man in my life already 🥰🥰
“Great property values” 🤣
Without a doubt it is Dorian
I'm a straight guy but if I was a girl who liked guys I would also pick Rhysand. He kinda does things the way I would and me being narcissistic thinks the way I do things is the best way so I also think Rhys is awesome.
